Transportation, recreation, health and fitness, sustainability, tourism, business, economic development, and more are all on the agenda - and we will start with advocacy training to help you effectively communicate with your own Representative and Senator.

Contact Your Legislators

On the sidebar to the right, see a link to look up your own legislators. Call and/or email to arrange a meeting on Capitol Day. For most legislators, prime time for Monday meetings is 3pm-6pm, so plan your day accordingly--but call to confirm a meeting time and availability.

Few other groups hold advocacy events at the Capitol on Mondays. This is an advantage to us, because it means far less competition for access to legislators that day. But it means you must contact your own legislators to confirm they will be there and the time(s) they will be available for meetings.

All Afternoon - Legislator visits - (2pm-5:30pm prime time for this) Legislators are typically in their offices only certain hours on Monday afternoons, so be sure to check with your legislator as to the best time to visit. Monday is a great day to visit your legislator because we will be the only lobby group in the Capitol that day. But the hours your legislators may be available can be quite limited. Be sure to contact your legislator prior to Capitol Day to confirm.

Lodging, parking, transportation, dining Many options are available near the Capitol building. Amtrak trains stop in Jeff City twice a day coming from both directions (St. Louis and Kansas City). You can bring your bike on Amtrak.

Do you have an event, agency, business, or organization that works in the area of bicycling, walking, trails, health, fitness, accessibility, disability, or outdoor recreation?

We would love to feature your organization, event, business, or agency at the Capitol to show the breadth of Missouri's bicycle, pedestrian, and trails community.

Note that your organization does not need to participate in lobbying or take a position on any issues in order to participate. The displays simply show our legislators and decision-makers the breadth of Missouri's bicycle, pedestrian, and trails community. In addition, you have the opportunity to reach an audience of Missouri's decision-makers from bicycle, pedestrian, and trails groups around the state at our most prestigious annual event in a beautiful setting.
